Historical Seismology
A research field that reconstructs pre-instrumental earthquake event sequences by analyzing seismic descriptions preserved in historical documents. The resulting catalogs are used to assess regional seismic hazard and characterize patterns of seismic activity over timescales that extend beyond modern instrumental monitoring networks.
